From Blue Sky
Studios and 20th Century Fox - “Ice Age: Collision Course,”
the fifth big screen installment of the colossal blockbuster cartoon franchise
“Ice Age” that will take over theatres July 2016, announces the return of its
previous cast and introduces new members as a cosmic Scratastrophe looms and
endangers their world.

In
the new film, the beloved herd from the Ice Age movies — including woolly
mammoths Manny (Ray Romano) and Ellie (Queen Latifah), saber-toothed tigers
Diego (Denis Leary) and Shira (Jennifer Lopez), and lovable sloth Sid (John
Leguizamo) — have to leave their homes to save themselves when cosmic events
threaten their world. And one of the places they wander into is an exotic,
fantastical locale where one of the new characters known as Shangri Llama
(Jesse Tyler Ferguson) is the spiritual leader of sorts.

Ferguson,
the Modern Family TV star describes his extremely colourful yoga-loving
character as “Me being someone who can barely look at my toes without feeling
an incredible stretch, I envy him for his limber nature.”

In
a rollout of Tweets from the cast, leading everyone to follow #CollisionCourse,
Jennifer Lopez tweeted away “Shira is back with a purr-fect cast!” while John
Leguizamo posted his character’s photo too with a suave message “Sloth your
roll.” Moreso, youthful Keke Palmer just
like her character Peaches tweeted “Ice, Ice Baby” and Max Greenfield known for
his recurring television roles in Veronica Mars, Ugly Betty and Modern Men
joins the Ice Age family who belongs to the dino bird family. Music phenomenon Jessie J, whose songs such as
“Flashlight” and “Price Tag” that topped the charts plays Brooke, from the
family of sloths for which she excitedly twitted “You 'Herd' it here first! I'm
in #IceAge!
Follow #CollisionCourse.”
